AGC to probe alleged leak


PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) will investigate the alleged leak of documents from a prosecutor recommending to the then Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas to drop six of the corruption charges in 2019 against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and former Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, says current Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun.

Idrus said he would not be commenting on the contents of the allegedly leaked 12-page internal memo, which had gone viral and picked up by political portals.“We are investigating the leak of the documents,” Idrus told The Star.
